I loved this place!! It looks and feels like the 1920's and I found that very charming. The staff was friendly and accomodating...even though I do not speak Italian..some how they understood me quite well. The food in the restaurant is fabulous. make reservations. some nights there was a concert outdoors.. a violin concerto that wafted through the hotel and was just beautiful. The grounds are lush with mature trees of all varieties from around the world. The owner walked me around the grounds and explained hoew he had planted the trees with his father in the 1930"s as saplings and now they are towering over the buildings! There is a well kept clay tennis court that gets alot of daily uuse. some of the rooms over look the courts and have huge windows that open for a great view, There is an out door gazebo for meals and drinks..also table seating around the grounds. I really can't say enough about this retreat- like throw back in time hotel..I LOVED it!! I would recommen it highly and I will be returning!! Tutte benne!!!

Made reservation in March 2009 for planned stay from October 5-8, 2009. Made deposit of 120 euros based on Gabriella Cinelli’s (Owner/Operator) written commitment that provided I advise her before September 29th, the deposit would be refunded in the event I needed to cancel. In early Fall of 2009 my sister-in-law was diagnosed with very aggressive terminal cancer. We had to delay our trip to Italy and immediately care of my wife’s sister. Advised Gabriella Cinelli (Owner/Operator) on September 10th of this sudden and unexpected tragedy that necessitated a change in travel plans. After death claimed the life of my wife’s sister we decided to re-schedule the Italy trip for September 2010. Had no problems with all other accommodation providers. Only EXCEPTION was the Hotel Ristorante Adriano. Gabriella refused to confirm our re-scheduled reservation because I would not send an additional second deposit. Sent a series of e-mails in hopes of securing a confirmation of the re-scheduled reservation, but without any success. Gabriella Cinelli decline to reply to my messages and did not have the courtesy to provide any justification for keeping the previously made deposit of 120 euros. I definitely WOULD NOT deal with anyone at the Hotel Adriano and strongly recommend that this hotel be avoided at all cost. Intend to continue to work at getting my deposit returned even if it means stopping in personally when I am in Italy this coming September.

This hotel is ideally positioned for seeing the gardens at Tivoli, but it is rather out of reach for much else. It hasn't been kept up to date, and now needs a good workover. Relaxing atmosphere and relaxed staff...

Location, next to Hadrian's villa, is the only reason to stay at this past its prime hotel. We had booked a junior suite only to discover that the two rooms were smothered in dark heavy brocaded fabric and carpeting, all of which had seen better days. There were unknown stains on the wall as well. We switched to a regular room which had mold on the ceiling near the air conditioner but bare floors which made it seem cleaner. The bathrooms however were very clean, the shower was excellent and the towels large and fluffy. Breakfast was the usual continental fare, though considering that there is a school at the restaurant I thought the pastry too seemed a little past its prime. We ate dinner at a restaurant called La Ronda in Tivoli and it was an outstanding meal.
